Thx for the guidance to everyone! The main problem was that the machine
(baculadirector), which had a fixed IP, didn't tell it's own name to the
DNS. So the thread could even be considered OT.

Nonetheless, thanks guys.



About the Debian/Bacula relationship: I am in no way affiliated with the
Debian team, and I have no connections to them. I'm just using their
OS :)



Regards, Paul
